And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Catching, Cleaning, Cooking, Eating. It's all good!
Looks like a mix of blue gill and shell cracker, also called a red ear. Nothing like catching a mess of slab sided bream. The meat is all white and cooks up firm and flaky. Up there with crappy and walleye.
I have a cousin who is a professional fisherman. He says if bluegill grew to the size of bass they'd be putting fighting chairs with straps in the boats and they'd be the most sought after fish ever.
Best tasting fresh water fish there is. We call it bream and catch them by the hundreds.

ReplyDeleteIf bluegill grew to 50 pounds, wouldn't nothing else be safe in the water, including us.
ReplyDeleteOh No! Stinky fish... UGH!!!
ReplyDeleteDid they filet bluegill? Well I have never seen such a travesty.
ReplyDeleteSkinned, breaded and fried. Nothing wasted except the lips and eye balls (which can be used to catch more if you run out of bait).
DeleteCatch them ice fishing, catch a big pile, fillet them out, put them in the blender with bread crumbs egg and spices, make excellent fish cakes.
